In the winter of 330-329 BC Athens itself suffers a series of alarming thefts and home robberies. It seems that nobody is safe. The great philosopher Aristotle helps his former student Stephanos investigate a break-in and brutal murder at the house of one of his Athenian neighbours. The man fingered for the crime turns against Stephanos just as he is planning his marriage. It is difficult to arrange a big fat Greek wedding when someone seems to be trying to kill you. Elsewhere bodies begin to pile up - who will be bludgeoned or stabbed or strangled next? Stephanos' bride is Philomela. Her parental home is Eleusis, famous for the Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone, home of the sacred site of the Mysteries of Eleusis. Religious initiation is open to all adult Greek speakers, slave and free, with the exception of anyone guilty of homicide. Stephanos, Philomela and Aristotle undertake mystic initiation in a complex ritual whose ultimate secrets cannot be spoken, on pain of death. Eleusis conceals many secrets, and revelation of the truth must await the night of the Mystery celebration itself. This is the fifth novel featuring Aristotle as the first detective of the ancient world, following Aristotle Detective, Aristotle and Poetic Justice, The Secrets of Life and Poison In Athens.… (meer)

"I misteri di Eleusi" è il quinto romanzo di Aristotele nei panni di uno Sherlock Holmes del IV secolo a.C. E se ogni storia poliziesca si ispira a un'opera dello Stagirita, quest'ultima sembra rimandare forse alla Politica. Ma il ricalco non è solo con la filosofia del grande filosofo, è la vita stessa di Atene e del mondo greco classico in età alessandrina a rivivere nella pagina: il funzionamento pratico della vita pubblica, le procedure ufficiali e i costumi privati, i modi di divertirsi e il mondo degli affari. E soprattutto quel senso sottile di smarrimento generale che dovette aver preso l'uomo greco nell'epoca di svolta in cui Aristotele si trovava a vivere.

Un nuovo romanzo di Margaret Doody della serie di gialli con Aristotele protagonista, ambientati nella Grecia del IV secolo. Il filosofo, intelligente, ironico, curioso, raccoglie indizi, trae ipotesi, e in una catena di deduzioni giunge alla spiegazione del delitto e all’arresto del colpevole. Dopo la metafisica, la fisica, la poetica questa volta l’autrice fa riferimento all’etica aristotelica.

Un orrendo omicidio è stato compiuto a casa di Gerone: Ippobate, suo cognato, viene trovato a terra con la testa fracassata. L’arma del delitto non si trova, ma Aristotele, subito chiamato sul posto, sospetta si tratti di un oggetto rotondo di marmo. Le cose si complicano perché strani furti di gioielli si verificano nelle case di chi potrebbe essere coinvolto mentre fervono i preparativi per il matrimonio di Stephanos, il discepolo prediletto. Sullo sfondo i riti di iniziazione nella città antica di Eleusi, celebrati nel santuario di Demetra, divinità della terra: durante la processione, momento culminante dei riti eleusini, il mistero cesserà di esser tale e Aristotele, come – dubitarne? – giungerà alla verità.
Ancora una volta l’autrice canadese ci trasporta nel mondo dell’antichità ricostruito in maniera filologicamente corretta e ci rende partecipi delle consuetudini e dei riti della Grecia classica. ( )
